You lot will corrupt young innocent Iceland. On the quiz, do we prefer a stand-up-and-someone-announces-the-questions type or a piece-of-paper-to-cogitate-over-the-beer type?Or both? And do we go for specific rounds(Sport,Music,Badgers) or just a general free for all? And may I perform my quizmaster duties wearing a snorkel and trunks? And present a booby prize of 7 ounces of icing sugar to the losing team? ---

Judging from last year, I think a piece of paper to think over whilst we drink might be the best idea, but others may differ. ---

It’s all good. Previous prizes have included stickers, comedy candy shapes, and a rock (the Charlie Brown Memorial Booby Prize). ---

Is this going to end up with a 1000 posts like the last one, where only about 30/1000 had any relevance to anything pertaining to meeting up? I’ll get on to **Bib** as well, now that I think about it ---
